It's the hard-knock life for us! |
|
It's the hard-knock life for us! |
|
Instead of treated - we get tricked! |
|
Instead of kisses - we get kicked! |
|
It's the hard-knock life! |
|
Got no folks to speak of, so |
|
It's the hard-knock row we hoe |
|
Cotton blankets - instead of wool |
|
Empty bellies - instead of full |
|
It's the hard-knock life! |
|
Don't it feel like the wind is always howling? |
|
Don't it seem like there's never any light? |
|
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in? |
|
It's easier than putting up a fight! |
|
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy |
|
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink |
|
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy |
|
From all the crying you would think this place's a sink! |
|
Ohhhh! |
|
Empty belly life! |
|
Rotten smelly life! |
|
Full of sorrow life! |
|
No tomorrow life! |
|
Santa Claus we never see |
|
Santa Claus, what's that? Who's he? |
|
No one cares for you - a smidge |
|
When you're in an orphanage |
|
You'll stay up... till this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler Building! |
|
Yank the whiskers from her chin! |
|
Jab her with a safety pin! |
|
Make her drink a Mickey Finn! |
|
I love you, Miss Hannigan! |
|
It's the hard-knock life for us! |
|
It's the hard-knock life for us! |
|
No one cares for you - a smidge |
|
When you're in an orphanage |
|
It's the hard-knock life |
|
It's the hard-knock life |
|
It's the hard-knock life! |
